The Vital Question.

"If anything was needed to prove that the
teachers OF this State are amply paid for their
services, we think that proof could be found
in many teacher 8 columns in the rural
press. These departments, as a rule, in their
general make up, furnish the grimmest jokes
that we see anywhere"
Thus speaketh the Abberiue Press and Ban
ner, the champion Of the "cut' in teachers
salaries. We hope to be enlightened as to the
character OF the "97imnlest jokes which so
please our contemporary. Perhaps one Of the
fair compensation for their labor. If the
Press and Banner would start an Educational
Department and put one Of its loneed-f for
IS teachers In charge perhaps this one Of the
"rural press would not be SO full OF the
"0rinmes: jokes" Poor pay, poor teacher
Marlboro Democrat.
The Press and Banner is laboring for the
good Of the children. The teachers, being
full grown, ought to be able to take care OF
themselves We see no reason for giving
them pension in excess OF any amount for
which they may be willing to work.
AS matter Of fact, the children and the
taxpayers of this State have very little rep
resentation among the newspapers. The
teachers or the school officers seem to have
taken possession of the country press. body
and soul. Nearly all the editors are working
for them, and in many instances, the teachers
or tnelr representative, tue scuooi SoiiihiS
sioner, have actually taken charge OF de-
partment OF their local newspaper in which
to vent their peculiar notions in the advance
ment Of the opinion that the sooner the pub
lie schools are closed for want OF funds, the
better for the children.
Notable among the newspapers Of the State
which are working for the children, is the
Nescbe17y Observer. 1t Is one Of tho ablest
newspapers in the State. 1t has the courage
OF its convictions, and 1t is fighting vigorous
ly for the children. The result will be that in
Newberry the school term will be prolonged
If the present officers refuse to work for the
children, but insist on giving out the public
fund for the least possible service on the part
OF the teachers, other and better men will
rise up and fill the offices at the next election.
The people have been long enough hood
winked by teachers institutes and news
paper scribblers, and they are beginning to
understand that the school fund Is for the
benefit Of their children, and not solely to
pension lot Of school teachers who lack the
ability to command price for their services

TTrpent Need of Missionary Work.

Our preachers have enlarged upon the ne
cessity of taking Bibles to heathen lands, but
there is a greater need for home missions, IN
the work OF warning our people against the
habit Of taking medicine. Thousands OF peo'
pie 20 to their graves every year from the
practice OF taking physic unadvisedly. Our
familiarity with the patent medicine adver-
tisemenL is having the effect OF undermining
the health and constitution Of our people.
Nine men out of ten will take calomel on al
most any occasion. and talk learneoly aoout
their "lvers." Asa rule the more ignorant
people are the more faith they have In the
health destroying drugs.
awe need to have the sale Of whiskey pro-
hibited, but there is greater evil which
should be suppressed-the unrestricted sale
and use of medicines.

Don't Take off Your Flannel.

Don't be In hurry to take Of your flannel.
The time hasn't come yet. There Is one rule
by which to be governed. Stick to your fan
mel until 1t sticks to you, and that will proba-
bly, be in June. If you will wear your flannel
until the right time to take 1t of, the Press
and Banner in all probability will have no oc-
casion on your account to talk about the IN
scrutable ways OF Providence. We would i'm
press 1t upon your mind that Providence
strives to govern US by the rules of common
sense and the observance Of sanitary laws.
If you take off your flannel prematurely and
produce pneumonia or consumption from the
exposure, don't blame Providence. II you
make the ground around your home filthy,
and make your well drainage hole for the
filth lying on top of the EARTH and you take ty-
phoid fever, please don't attribute that to
Providence Providence makes the water
pure. II you corrupt 1t, and die from drink
Ing II, that Is o matter entirely Of your own
responsibility. If you sleep with your room
so tight that no might air" can got In, and
YOU breathe over and over again the putrid
air within, and you take consumption, don't
blame Providence. There is just two kinds OF
night air. The air out OF doors is or should be
N~~---
can be but impure.
There is another matter TO which we would
call your attention. If you are laboring
man, and from excessive or violent exercise
become heated. don't neglect to put on your
coat as soon as the exercise or work has been
finished,
Don't 20 out on frosty morning without
your coat, under any idiotic idea that by thus
exposing yourself to the cold you are harden
Ing yourself Any sensible man, by one mo-
ment's reflection, can see that that exposure Is
only a draught on your vital powers, which
draft at the change Of the seasons, you may
not be able to stand.
One word to the little boys. Keep out Of the
creeks until the water is warm. Don't
20 sin washing" until June or later. A few
wears ago two little boys went in stream
near the village before the water was warm.
One died next week. The other lay abed 1or
weeks, at deaths door.
Don't take medicine. 1t is delusion and
snare. The chances are ten to one the man
who makes practice OF taking strong medi-
cine will kill himself outright sooner or later.
Calomel has put more men In their graves
than anything else, and he who takes 1t, with
out a prescription from the best doctor In his
neighborhood, does an exceedingly foolish
thing. 1t isn't every fool that Is competent to
prescribe physic, and this ia especially true OF
such virulent poisons as calomel.
Whether boy, man. woman or dude, don't
be q natural born fool, and violate the Sim
plest and most vital laws OF health.
It is said Of Scotchman that he once said
man was fool to take medicine. OF which
he knew nothing into stomach Of which he
knew less.

What the "News and COURIER Thinks.

Upon which the News and Courier makes
the following editorial comment:
The views Of Solicitor Orr, which we pub
lish to-day. throw flood OF light on the
causes Of the lawlessness prevailing In this
State and furnish food for serious thought.
He is one Of the ablest prosecuting attorneys
In the State, and Is therefore wei qunlifed to
speak upon the subject which he discusses.
Solicitor Orr's opinion may be briefly sum-
married as follows:
Public sentiments Is greatly at fault, be-
cause 1t does not frown upon offenders nor
demand their punishment.
The Legislature Is to blame, because 1t has
repeatedly refused to amend tho Code or
criminal procedure so rs to secure the certain
and impartial enforcement OF the law. There
General Assembly.
The present plum of empanelling Juries is
Objectionable, because 1t virtually gives the
prisoner under Indictment the power TO pass
upon his own guilt.
The coroners deserve censure, because they
wink at iniQuity.
The Judges bring reproach upon the law,
out of every hundred felonious killings, al
ways taking 1t for granted that the social posi-
tion or family influence OF the prisoner war
rant the belief that he is not common"
criminal.
The Governor Is to blame, because he grants
pardons without investigation, and simply
upon the petitions of "prominent citizens"
doubt that nearly every count in it could be-
sustained before IN Edgef1eld County jury,
even II the State, which Is on trial. should be
allowed the customary twenty challenges by
which so many murderers In South Carolina
have escaped the gallows.
